Fort McMurray & Wood Buffalo Communications
Communications for Canada's energy heartland.
reVerb Communications is an Alberta-based communications firm serving Fort McMurray, the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo, and northern Alberta's energy sector. We understand what communications means here: building and maintaining social license for resource operations, engaging meaningfully with Indigenous communities in Treaty 8 territory, preparing for crises before they happen, and telling the story of an industry under constant scrutiny.
What We Offer Wood Buffalo
Oil Sands & Energy Sector Communications
Strategic communications for operators, contractors, and service companies in Canada's oil sands. Social license strategy, community relations, regulatory communications, and public affairs. We understand the pressure of operating under national scrutiny—and how to communicate effectively in that environment.
Fort McMurray knows crisis. From the 2016 wildfire to operational incidents and environmental concerns, organizations here need communications teams that can prepare for the worst and respond when it happens. We help develop crisis plans, train spokespeople, and provide rapid response support when issues escalate.
Indigenous Consulting & Engagement
Meaningful engagement with Indigenous communities, Nations, and organizations in Treaty 8 territory. Fort McMurray First Nation, Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation, Mikisew Cree First Nation, Fort McKay First Nation—these relationships matter. We help organizations build genuine partnerships that support both project objectives and community priorities.
Stakeholder & Community Engagement
Public consultations, open houses, and ongoing dialogue with communities affected by resource operations. We design engagement that builds understanding and addresses concerns—not checkbox exercises.
Media Relations & Media Training
Press releases, media outreach, and spokesperson training. Our media training is led by Glenn Kubish, former Director of News & Public Affairs at CTV Edmonton—someone who understands how Alberta stories get covered and how they can go national. Sessions can be delivered virtually or in-person.
Municipal & Public Sector Communications
Communications support for the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo, public-sector organizations, and community institutions. Council communications, public engagement, and strategic communications capacity.

Why Choose reVerb Communications for Fort McMurray Communications & PR?
We Understand the Stakes
Communications in the oil sands isn't like communications anywhere else in Alberta. The industry operates under constant scrutiny from environmental groups, national media, and international observers. Social license isn't just a buzzword here—it's a business requirement. We understand that environment.
We Offer Indigenous Consulting
Most communications firms don't. In Treaty 8 territory with multiple First Nations, meaningful Indigenous engagement is essential for project success. We help organizations move beyond compliance to build relationships that support long-term operations.
We're Built for Crisis
Fort McMurray has lived through major crises. Organizations here know they need communications support that can respond when things go wrong—not just when everything's going well. We provide crisis planning, media training, and rapid response capability.
We Travel
Fort McMurray is 4.5 hours from our Edmonton headquarters. We're set up for remote delivery and virtual support. When you need us on-site—for community events, stakeholder sessions, crisis response, or media training—we're there.
